Hello. I hope someone can offer me some assistance. I got rid of the
opening video for GP3 and need some help getting rid of the 5 start
lights, that I must wait through, that come on between menus. I find
this boring and wasteful. Especially while developing setups. They
come on every time you go to setup, before being able to enter the
cockpit again. The file names in the ANIMationS directory , look not to
be these lights.
Can anyone offer some assistance. It would be GREATLY appreciated

The files are located in the <gp3>/bitmaps directory and named
loading1.bmp ... loading6.bmp.
If you delete or rename them, you get a black screen in the game instead
of the lights. Or you can put in any 640x480 bitmaps and rename them to
loading#.bmp.
If you'd prefer pictures of 'f1 babes' you can find a few sets of them
at http://www.alphaf1.com/gp3 -> downloads -> Other Graphics. Those pics
are definitely less annoying to look at :-)

It's just a progress indicator, after all, and so they've selected a
mechanism that is F1 related, it could just have easily been a
speedometer, or just a boring bar that says 'Please Wait'...
Cheers,
Steve.

Until we have ATA-5000 interfaces and matching harddrives, you'll have
to wait while loading tracks in ANY game. GP3 performs even rather
well in this area if you compare it to some other software!

GP3. In GP2, this process or waiting game or whatever, takes 3-5 seconds
whereas GP3 is considerably slower. Is that because of the 'vastly improved'
graphics? I mean, it can't take THAT much longer...
